first_imgBilal will relocate to London after only six months in Mumbai where he heads up Pioneer’s asset management joint venture with Baroda Bank.Prior to this, Bilal was distribution head for the Italian asset manager’s German operations.He leaves Pioneer after four years and becomes the second high-profile departure so far this year in a turbulent time for the asset manager.Chief executive Sandro Pierri left the firm at the end of January, replaced by deputy Giordano Lombardo, after two and a half years in the role and 11 at the company.Pioneer is wholly owned by Italian bank UniCredit.However, discussions are ongoing with Spain’s Banco Santander about merging the asset management arms of both banks.Together, Pioneer Investments and Santander Asset Management would create one of Europe’s largest managers.UniCredit had been evaluating bids for Pioneer before entering exclusive discussions with Banco Santander for the potential merger. UBS Global Asset Management (GAM) has hired Pioneer Investments’ Oliver Bilal to lead its EMEA business, capping a restructure started by president Ulrich Koerner.Bilal joins the Swiss bank’s asset management business from Italian manager Pioneer in May, reporting to Koerner while also joining the executive committees for UBS GAM and UBS Group’s operations in EMEA.He will also report to Andreas Schlatter in his role as a regional distribution head. Schlatter is currently interim head of the EMEA business following Koerner’s restructure.last_img read more

PFZW frontrunner in PWRI merger talks

first_imgPWRI, the €7.3bn pension fund for disabled workers, is considering joining the €166bn healthcare scheme PFZW, according to its chairman.In January, the scheme announced that it was talking with three pension funds as potential merger partners, after it closed to new entrants.Chairman Kees Bethlehem said that PFZW had emerged as a favourite, as it was expected to best uphold the defining characteristics of PWRI.As examples, Bethlehem cited PFZW’s low franchise – the part of the salary that is exempt from pensions accrual – as well as PWRI’s award-winning way of communication with its disabled participants. “PFZW thinks it could learn lessons from us,” Bethlehem said.According to the chairman, the negotiations would in part focus on the relatively low life expectancy of PWRI’s participants.Their longevity is four years lower than the average, whereas PFZW’s participants comprising healthcare workers have a relatively high life expectancy.PWRI has been closed to new entrants since the beginning of the year, following new legislation – the Participation Act – which prescribes that disabled workers are to be employed at regular companies, and also join their pension plan.The pension fund still has 100,000 active participants in social workplaces, but local councils are expected to abolish these social workshops.As a result of the gradual ageing and thinning of the population of active participants, the contribution would have to increase significantly, Bethlehem pointed out. “That would pose a problem for the mid and long-term.”He indicated that PWRI wanted to conclude the negotiations with PFZW by the end of the year, and to subsequently join the healthcare scheme from 1 January 2017.However, he emphasised that his pension fund would not join PFZW at any cost.“As we won’t have a problem for the short term, we retain the option of continuing independently if the negotiations were to collapse.”If the pension fund for social workplaces were to join PFZW, it would have to replace its current provider and asset manager APG with PGGM.In 2012, it had already moved from Syntrus Achmea to APG and, more recently, appointed F&C Asset Management an €880m real estate and mortgage mandate.Bethlehem declined to say which two pension funds dropped out of the negotiations earlier this year.PWRI and PFZW have 219,000 and 2.6m participants respectively in total. At June-end, the funding of PWRI was 106.4%. PFZW’s coverage stood at 103%.last_img read more

German pensions industry baulks at government’s tax proposal

No Comments
| doyvdlbj

first_imgThe tax law proposed by Germany’s Finance Ministry (BMF) risks throwing the baby out with the bath water, according to some within the country’s pension and investment industry. The BMF, responding to concerns that the current tax regime is not fully in line with European tax regulations, caused concern with many in the industry after it published a proposal on an extensive reform package.Under the proposed regulation, a new tax is to be introduced at the investment fund level for mutual funds.At the moment, investments via funds in Germany are taxed similarly to direct investments. In turn, some of the profits from the sale of fund shares are to be tax exempt.Many insurers, investment managers and employers, however, are sceptical that this will offset the level of new taxes.They are particularly worried about investments by occupational pension providers via mutual funds due to concerns about double taxation.A Pensionsfonds investing in a mutual fund would have to pay tax at the fund level for domestic dividends and real estate profits, which, in turn, “would cut into returns at the expense of the members”, according to a number of industry groups, including the insurance federation, the trade and services association, the craftsmen association and the banking federation, among others. In a joint statement, the pension fund association (aba), the association for Versorgungswerke (ABV) and the association of church and municipal retirement providers (AKA), also warn of an “inappropriate double taxation” of domestic dividends and real estate profits, as pensioners have to pay taxes on those in the payout phase already.“Not only does such a double taxation lead to an unjustified cut in returns in occupational pensions,” they added, “but it also has to be questioned from a constitutional point of view.”Taxation of real estate profits is also a major concern.The associations argue that some of the changes proposed by the BMF create uncertainty over whether further taxation on real estate profits will be introduced for institutional investors, even at the level of Spezialfonds.They also claim the new taxation at a fund level – in combination with taxation in the payout phase – would make investment funds less attractive than direct investments.last_img read more

Norwegian pension funds demand equality with insurers in solvency rules

No Comments

first_imgHe said the FSA did not propose allowing pension funds to apply a reduced stress factor to these investments when capital requirements were calculated — as is the case for life insurers under Solvency II.The regulator is justifying this difference, Mydske said, with its aim of simplifying the rules for pension funds, but he said it would put pension funds at a competitive disadvantage to life insurers.The State Pension Fund (SPK), which runs the pharmacists’ pension fund, Pensjonsordningen for apotekvirksomhet (POA), said it agreed with Mydske’s feedback.The fund said the new draft requirements violated the principle of equal risk in the regulation with regard to requirements for investments in mortgage-backed bonds, and claimed they reduced pension funds’ opportunities to invest in infrastructure relative to life insurance companies.The Norsk Hydro pension fund also came out against the introduction of the proposed simplified Solvency II regulations, saying they went against EU pension fund regulation.Pointing to a report from the firm Samfunnsøkonomisk Analyse, research foundation FAFO, NHH school of economics and actuaries Lillevold & Partners, the Norsk Hydro group director and CFO Eivind Kallevik wrote that he agreed with the report’s conclusion that the increased capital requirements for pension funds could lead to negative consequences, including a poorer functioning capital market in Norway that fluctuates more wildly and is less liquid.The Norwegian Association of Pension Funds (Pensjonskasseforeningen) said there was no need for a new regulatory framework.In a joint submission, the Norwegian Association of Pension Funds, the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise (NHO), the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO), the Pensioners’ Association (Pensjonistforbundet) and the engineers and technologists’ union NITO said: “Norwegian pension funds are solid, and changes in the regulation will cause great inconvenience for businesses.“The proposed legislation is largely based on Solvency II, but the EU has envisaged pension funds being governed by IORP II, not Solvency II.”However, Norges Bank, the Norwegian central bank, said it supported the use of simplified Solvency II requirements for pension funds.In a written response to the consultation, directors Torbjørn Hægelund and Sindre Weme said: “This will contribute to equal protection for all pension customers, regardless of whether they have agreements with a life insurance business or a pension fund.”Finans Norway, the financial industry organisation, also backed the FSA’s proposal, saying pension funds in the country must be as secure as life insurance companies, adding that the current solidity regulations for pension funds had significant weaknesses.The Finance Ministry put its proposal on the introduction of new capital requirements for pension funds out for consultation on 28 September last year, giving a deadline of 9 January 2017 for responses, saying current capital requirements for pension funds took little account of the fact market interest rates and yield prospects changed over time.The FSA (Finanstilsynet) is proposing that pension funds be subject to a simplified version of the new capital requirements for insurance companies under the domestic version of the EU Solvency II regime.According to the proposal from the FSA, new capital requirements for pension funds should be introduced with effect from 1 January 2018 but include a transitional period until 1 January 2032.The Ministry of Finance said it would assess the need for these capital requirements, and the design of the regulation around them, in the light of the feedback it got from the consultation.PensionsEurope, the European umbrella association for national workplace pension bodies, warned back in October about about the detrimental effects of the Norwegian plans to introduce solvency capital requirements for pension funds. Pension funds in Norway are calling for proposed new solvency regulation for the sector to be re-drafted to make sure their infrastructure and mortgage-backed bond investments are not treated more onerously than those of competitors in the life insurance sector.Responding to the Finance Ministry’s consultation on new capital requirements for pension funds, law firm Thommesen said on behalf of several pension funds that they should be allowed to use a reduced stress factor for investments in mortgage-backed bonds and infrastructure, in line with the position for life insurance companies.The firm is representing the ABB pension fund, the municipal pension funds for Aker, Trondheim and Bergen, the consultancies Gabler and Mercer Norway, Pareto Alternative Investments, the pension fund for health authorities in the metropolitan area (Pensjonskassen for helseforetakene i hovedstadsområdet) and the Skagerak Energi pension fund.Tore Mydske, a lawyer at the firm, argued that these investments were long-term, stable investments.last_img read more

Lothian scheme adopts automated stock lending recall service

No Comments
| ocurpwnu

first_imgThe Lothian Pension Fund (LPF), Scotland’s second largest Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) with more than £8bn (€8.9bn) in assets under management, has adopted a stock lending recall service from custodian Northern Trust.The service will allow the scheme to vote at the annual general meetings of every company it holds, by initiating the return of loan positions automatically triggered by meeting announcements, it said.Bruce Miller, the LPF’s chief investment officer, said: “stock lending is a key part of an efficient market. We believe in long-term investing, and the lending of stocks doesn’t impact on the long-term returns of the portfolio.”He added that stock lending also generates significant fee income for the scheme, providing a boost to its long-term performance.  The CIO is also aware of the potential impact on voting stock lending can have.“We’re committed to voting at the AGM of every company we hold and have always excluded a portion of each portfolio from the stock lending programme. Over the last few years our voting, particularly on climate issues, has become more active,” he said.Miller said the fund had become a member of Climate Action 100+ and was part of last year’s climate resolution at BP.“We must make every effort to have the greatest impact we can in votes that we believe in. Ensuring the efficient and timely return of stock in the lending programme allows us to have the biggest impact on behalf of our members,” he noted.Albert Chen, a portfolio manager at LPF, said: “Appropriately collateralised stock lending provides investors with the opportunity to improve returns without taking on undue risk. However, the loss of voting rights is often accepted as part and parcel of securing stock lending income.”He said the scheme started discussions with Northern Trust on the possibility of an automated stock recall service during late 2019 and said he was “pleased with their acknowledgment of how important this issue has become to asset owners”.He added: “While adopting this new approach means we’ll see some reduction in stock lending income, we think the ability to vote our entire shareholding takes precedence.”Doug Heron, the scheme’s chief executive officer, said: “As a responsible investor it’s vital that we use our votes to make the maximum impact we can on behalf of our stakeholders. If this means sacrificing fee income because it’s the right thing to do, then we’ll do that.”To read the digital edition of IPE’s latest magazine click here.last_img read more
